how do you get the wax out of glass candle holders?

Answer 1

FREEZE IT AND IT WILL JUST POP OUT. (THE COLD SHRINKS IT)

Answer 2

Try putting the candle holders in the freezer for a few hours, the wax will easily come out.

Answer 3

Freeze to remove heavy excess....then pop out wax with a dull blade or the backside of a table knife... For residue after burning candles try a grease cutting dish detergent like Dawn..put a few drops in the holder and then fill with very hot water...let stand till water is only warm then use the dull side of a table knife to scrape out residue.. do not let it cool completely and be careful how much pressure you use..you don't want the glass to break in your hand.

Answer 4

Turn you oven to "WARM", put a pile of paper towels or napkins on a baking sheet and place the holders on towel upside down.

Put the baking sheet in the oven and check it every so often, wiping the melted wax from the glass. After awhile all the wax will be wiped away and you can just throw the paper towels in the trash.

I do it all the time and they clean up really nice.

Answer 5

You could try putting them in the microwave for 10 or 15 seconds to soften the wax, then remove.

Answer 6

A trick I learned is to put it in the freezer, the wax will shrink in the cold,tap the bottom gently it should come out.

Answer 7

I have also heated water in a pan, not to boiling, and placed the holders in the hot water briefly. Worked like a charm.

Answer 8

Put them in the freezer and when the wax is frozen it should pop right out

Answer 9

put them in boiling water, on their sides if you can. Simply melt the wax out of them, reversing the procecess that put it in there.

Answer 10

Leave them in the freezer for a couple of days.

Answer 11

Chunk out what you can with a dull knife (the big pieces) then run them through the dishwasher to make it sparkle. works great.
